    I would think it is per head per night, If I'm correct. Will this be clarified?
    Anyways, will go with the majority.

    @Dinesh:- Thanks for coming up with details for Mettupalayam stay.

      • The ride days are coming near and I'm already getting Goosebumps.

        Guys Suggestions needed...

        I'm planning to carry my DSLR for the trip.
        But I'm not sure how to carry it.
        As of now I don't have a tank-bag and dont have much bank balance to afford one immediately

        So, any ideas??
        BTW I do have a camera bag with a small diagonal-hanging strap(Last Option)

        • What to carry for this ride:-

          1. Dress - nos. depends on your convenience.
          2. Small bike tool pack - Bike compartment. + Spark plug
          3. Spares - cables etc. depends on confidence level.
          4. Tyre puncture kit - For TL and tube for TT vehicles.
          5. Gloves, Jacket, knee guards
          6. Vehicle papers - Remember local body elections result time.
          7. Spare bungee cords
          8. Sufficient cash since not many places do accept cards.
          9. Spare bike key
          10. Water bottle
          11. Waste cloth.
          12. Plastic covers in case of rain.

          Also request participants to service the bike and even do a short test ride to check everything in place.


          @Jairaman12 - You may carry the camera in a small back pack or sling across you if the camera bag provided is good enough.

              • Sriram - regarding the places we are gonna see, do we need to get any permission kind for the Avlanche like places - heard reg this when i was enquiring the accomodation

                Was googling on the information - got some

                I have checked with the tourism, forest and the EB departments. To visit the Avalanche Lake area, you need to get the permission from the DFO office, near the District Collectrate. The contact number is 0423-2444083. In case, you need to visit the Kundah Power Generation facility, you need to take another permission from the Superintending Engineer's office at Kundah, contact number - 0423 2509225. These are the information gathered by contacting the respective offices by phone and you may verify them in person.
                Have a great trip.

                  Heard Sunny been there recently, I did not recall him saying permission as such. Sunny, your thoughts please?

                      I didn't really go till the lake area - so I don't really know.

                      Just went for an early morning ride from Ooty for the fresh air!
